Stamp custom header and footer text on every PDF page with automatic page numbers, totals and dates. Instant, free and browser-based.
PDF Header & Footer stamps custom text onto every page of a PDF, supporting automatic page numbers, totals and dates through placeholders so you do not have to type a different number on every single page. It suits reports, contracts and printed handouts that need consistent headers such as a document title or footers showing page X of Y.
You set the header and footer text once, choose font size, position and any placeholders needed, and the tool applies it consistently across the whole document directly in your browser. Because there is no upload step, this works for confidential documents just as well as for general-purpose paperwork, and the result is ready to download as soon as processing finishes.
Using {page} and {total} placeholders, such as "Page {page} of {total}," the tool fills in the correct number for every page automatically, avoiding manual retyping across a long document.
The same text, formatting and position are applied to every page in one pass, ensuring a uniform look throughout the document rather than page-by-page manual editing.
There is no need to go back to the original Word or design file to add headers and footers; the stamping is applied directly to the finished PDF.
The {page} placeholder inserts the current page number and {total} inserts the total page count, so text like "Page {page} of {total}" automatically becomes "Page 1 of 12," "Page 2 of 12" and so on throughout the document without any manual entry.
Header and footer text can be aligned left, centre or right, and font size and margin distance from the page edge can be adjusted to avoid overlapping existing content. Checking a preview page before applying to the full document helps catch placement issues on documents with unusual page margins.
If the PDF already has its own header or footer content from the original source document, the new text is stamped on top rather than replacing it, so it is worth checking a sample page for overlap and adjusting the vertical position if needed before processing the whole file.
